Short Message Service (SMS) settings
The following options configure the cellular Short Message Service (SMS) capabilities of the mobile
module of the Digi device.
Important Notes:
n
To determine whether the cellular modem in a Digi device supports SMS, telnet to the
command line and type the
show smscell
command. If an error message is returned (
error:
show option not found
), then SMS is not supported for that Digi device.
n
SMS is a feature that may be available as part of your mobile service agreement. However,
sending and receiving short messages (or “text messages”) may have additional costs. Before
using the SMS capabilities of your Digi device, verify with your mobile service provider that your
agreement includes SMS as part of your service plan. Understand the costs of SMS before you
enable the SMS features on this Digi device.

Enable cellular Short Message Service (SMS) capabilities
: Enable SMS features on this Digi
device. When this option is enabled, the remaining SMS options may be configured. This option
is disabled (off) by default.
n
Send ACK reply via SMS when command is accepted
: When a command message is
received via SMS, send an acknowledgment (ACK) message via SMS to the originator of the
command message, indicating that the command has been accepted and will be processed.
This option is disabled (off) by default.
n
Send NAK reply via SMS if password validation fails
: When a command message is received
via SMS, and a required password is either missing or incorrect, send a negative
acknowledgment (NAK) message via SMS to the originator of the command message,
indicating that the command has been rejected due to password validation failure. This option
is disabled (off) by default.
n
Global SMS Command Password
: When a command message is received via SMS, and a global
password is specified in these settings, that password must be provided by the originator of
the command message or the message will be rejected by the Digi device. If a command-
specific password is configured, that command-specific password must be provided instead of
this global command password. Specifically, a command-specific password overrides the global
password, and the global password is not considered if a command-specific password is
configured in the settings. This option is disabled (no global password required) by default. To
remove the password, simply clear the password field on the settings page.
